      Timeless

      After watching "Planes, Trains & Automobiles", it should be the prototype of "People on the Road", the 1987 work, the Chinese translation of "Fantastic Road Trip". I will watch this movie because it is also one of the classic examples of the "Golden Fleece" prototype. The protagonist is in order to "go home on time for Thanksgiving" (Golden Fleece/Holy Grail), overcoming all kinds of hardships along the way, but achieving the original goal At the same time (or before) obtained other...

      Planes, trains and cars

      I specially found such an ancient movie to watch because of Tai Ji. After all, the ancestors of the two people on the embarrassing journey are this 25-year-old "Plane, Train, and Car".
      Thanksgiving was almost past, and Martin hurried to the airport to go home for the holiday after work. Who knew everything went wrong, taxis were robbed, flights were cancelled halfway, trains broke down, and the rental cars burned the cars into moving iron frames. What's more tragic is that there...

      [Film Review] Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987) 7.3/10

      John Hughes' side-splitting indoctrination of tolerance acutely draws on our congenital sense of schadenfreude, a time-honored leitmotif that has been part of the furniture in comical tropes, which mirrors a dark streak of human nature that everyone should refrain in real life, but whenever facing a fictive potboiler, it is hard not to kick up one's heels!

      With respect to the cinematic realm,...

      Very 80s

      Many years ago, I listened to a night radio show and forgot what the interviewed person did: he was about 30 years old, had a successful career, and had a good wife at home. In addition to his career, he also talked about poetry, poetry, and movies. . Speaking of movies, he said that after going through all the life, he lost interest in fancy action movies, hypocritical romantic movies, suspenseful horror, and niche literature and art when watching movies, and "only watched comedies."...

      Cheesy

      A typical comedy in the 1980s feels more funny than "People on the Road". Although most of the bridge sections are very old-fashioned, and some sections are a bit humorous, they can still bring a kind of warmth and charm that is unique to the end of the 1980s. I heard that the original film was nearly three hours away, and John Hughes cut a lot of clips.

      Most smiley stalks are easy to get, but the film is hardly known in China. John Hughes's other movies are more popular. It may be...

      2013Jan29, No. 117 Wuzhong Road, PPTV download and watch. I haven't read it yet, but I don't think there will be much difference!

    Movie plot

    The two-and-a-half-hour journey back home took four days and three nights, which is absurd, but this comedy of the journey from the traffic jam is quite resonant. Steve. Martin plays the role of the manager of an advertising agency working in New York. He drove back to Chicago to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with his wife and daughter. Unexpectedly, God couldn't make a trip, so he tried trains and buses and other transportation, but...
